Scholarships

At least one scholarship will be awarded each year to a student majoring in entrepreneurship at Florida State University who has financial need. Preference will be given to a student who has been adopted. Each recipient must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA or better in order to be eligible to receive the scholarship each year.

Applications for this scholarship are now open and will close June 30th.

The first student to receive this scholarship is Joshua Nesta. Joshua is a junior in the entrepreneurship major. When asked to describe why he deserves this scholarship Joshua said,

“Ever since I was a young kid I dove headfirst into any project I was working on and would give it 110 percent effort. My adaptability and resilience have been the reason I have made it to Florida State University and the reason that I will one day become successful.”

“I had a spectacular experience in the FSU entrepreneurship program. I only applied to one school when I graduated high school and that was FSU specifically for the opportunity to participate in the entrepreneurship program. I started five businesses in my four years at FSU with support from the Jim Moran Institute. None of those businesses are active today, but it was the experience I learned in the process of running them that helped me graduate from FSU with my choice of jobs. I also attribute my success today to my time in the program. I’m currently traveling the world in an “intrapreneurship” role I designed at a public software company.”
